According to police, an SUV slid off the road and flipped into a frozen spring. Two passengers and two dogs were inside at the time.

Dwayne Keller and Susan Pelletier were driving by when the crash occurred.

"Dwayne Keller and Susan Pelletier were pivotal in saving those two people's lives," Thorndike Fire Chief Seth Curra said. "They went into the water, helped open up the doors and got both occupants out of the vehicle. They were up to at least their waist in the water."

The two passengers have not been identified at this time. Police say they were taken to Waldo County Hospital in Belfast in fair condition and the dogs are expected to be OK.
